Electronic textiles

The aim of the chemical industry is to provide industry and people in general with functional products, which have a precise use in different activities such as pharmaceuticals, mechanics, electricity, electronics, textile, food, and so on. 

These prowsicns do not only affect Ihe chetnca) industry but also all downstream users, e g, the automotive, mechanical engineering, electronics, textile and construction industries. The vrpacts on the overall economy would be devastating, French and German studies do confirm this.

We ve tried to include all substantial developments and advances in this new edition. Significant developments in biomedical applications, microelectromechani-cal systems, and electronic textiles have been included, as has synthesis of nano-structured CEPs. New methods for characterizing CEPs, such as electrochemical Raman and electron spin resonance spectroscopy, have also been described. Significant progress is also detailed in techniques for processing CEPs and the fabrication of devices.

The water-soluble stabilizers at the outer surfaces of PANI nanoparticles typically include PSSA and PVA. For both cases, the resulting particles show a low diameter distribution of with a uniform spherical shape. The diameters are appropriately 40 nm with the PSSA and are varied from 100 to 150 nm for the poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). The electrical conductivities of the PANI nanoparticles with the use of the PSSA exceed those prepared from the PVA (Cho et al., 2004). Some modified polymerizations have been further developed to enhance the properties of PANI nanoparticles. For instance, polymerization was carried out in a thermo-stated bath with the assistance of dodecyl benzne sulfonic acid (DBSA) to produce electrical conductivities of 15 3 S cm at room temperature (Cho et al., 2004). These PANI nanoparticles were found to be particularly useful for electronic textiles (Moulton et al., 2004).

Stretchability has been perceived as a useful characteristic of next-generation electronics. Unlike conventional devices, stretchable electronics can adapt arbitrary and movable surfaces, thus extending their applications in smart-phones and wearable electronic textiles (Kim et al, 2010 Yu et al., 2011a). The largest challenge of stretchable PLECs resides in transparent electrode that requires to be highly conductive and stretchable. ITO is a...

The unique properties of high strength, robustness, good conductivity and pronounced electroactivity make these fibers potentially useful in many electronic textile applications. PANi-SWNTs composite fibers are currently being considered for application in artificial muscles, sensors, batteries and capacitors.
